Clearly, it's time for an upgrade. Last time I looked any anything desktopish was years ago when I got composit running under Gentoo. Didn't care then, still don't really. (SSH is SSH). But it's clearly time to upgrade, if for no other reason tan to have those watching over my shoulder say "what IS that". I like when that happens... Funny thing is, I'd be vastly more impressed if I could scroll back up in konsole during a screen session. It's ironic that I can have all the useless eye candy I want, but useful things like scrolling still aren't really complete. I know that would be complicated; particularly if a screen session opens another screen session, but still, it's far more useful than the cube & stuff, and I can't imagine it being any more difficult. Maybe I'm just too old. I like the CLI. Kev.

They make your windows have a 3d appearance, a ripple effect, etc. It is also responsible for the "cube effect" you might have seen before in videos such as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC5uEe5OzNQ On 6/11/07, Jon < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks. So xgl and aixgl are composition managers? And what are compiz and beryl, then, just the window managers? Always curious about the relationship.

I'm not sure but someone told me it was Xgl. Admittedly, I'm not really up on the diff between Xgl, aixgl, and Beryl other than Bery is a Compiz fork. Beryl will work with xgl or aiglx as the composition manager. Feisty actually comes with Compiz out of the box, but includes Beryl in one of the repositories.
